Ther. 34

I get up at 2330E and after getting dressed I attended midnight Mass at the chapel. This is the first Xmas I have spent away from home and it really is lonesome. All during Mass my mind strayed back home to scenes of my childhood. The chapel was trimmed up very nice and the Mass was grand but nothing like home. I went to bed again about 0100E and got up at 0630E  After the usual routine I got dressed and then Sgt. Busch took Walley + I out to Parsons. We had a grand time. I never ate so much in all my life. We helped Freddie, set up his bed. He + Valma were married last night. He sure got a beautiful wife. About six I called up Bud + Mary + they said to come down. I then said good-by to everyone and thanked them for everything. Thalma [[image]] arrow [[/image]]
